That combined with the Oakley’s and the Punisher patch show all us wannabe’s what a REAL tactical badass looks like.

I especially love that he has his hat on backwards, that is REAL tactical shit too! Honest, he’ll tell you that I’m sure.

This is the description he has on the video “Rick Taylor, world’s greatest tactical instructor, brings you the most technologically advanced handgun on the planet – the M&P17 Warrior. It’s the illegitimate love child of a Glock, an M&P, and a 1911.”

So, if you see his name on the class, you know not to waste your money

So when Marine John Boston wrote an open letter to Feinstein stating that any bill that would require him to register and/or turn in the guns he owns to the government would be illegal and he would refuse, he got a lot of support and a lot of heads on the left started exploding.

I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.

Of course, those of us who own guns – and not the Fudds who say “I only have mine for duck hunting” – agreed with Cpl. Boston. His argument was reasoned, based on fact, and cut to the heart of the matter “I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one”

The left saw that letter as open rebellion against the mandate they have created in their mind that people want more and more government control over their lives. How DARE those plebeians tell us no, DON’T THEY KNOW WHO WE ARE!

Well now CNN has a response letter from a ‘Marine’. I put it in quotes because this particular person doesn’t have the conviction to sign their real name to the letter, so like most arguments from the left we are just supposed to take their word for it that what they say is true. Personally, after reading it I call bullshit on the whole thing.

While I did not experience combat, I served in Afghanistan as a Marine, exiting the service as a Sergeant in 2008 to enter college. My experiences in the Marine Corps of course led me to train with semi and fully automatic weapons, and yet, I have no desire to own these weapons now that I am out of the service. I can’t see why any civilian needs semi-automatic, high-capacity weapons designed to kill as many people as quickly as possible, and I support a ban of future sales in addition to a retroactive ban that would force Joshua Boston to relinquish his weapons.

So this ‘Marine’ is quite fine with throwing out the 2nd, 4th and 5th Amendments to the Constitution. I also love how this anonymous vet states that they were a Sergeant. Interesting that the person, who is anonymous, was a higher rank than Boston.

I also like this part “I can’t see why any civilian needs semi-automatic, high-capacity weapons designed to kill as many people as quickly as possible” – wow, almost like they got that straight from the Brady Bunch, amazing coincidence.

Boston’s attitude towards authority is frankly disgusting and his open letter is wrong in both its assumptions about why the gun-control debate has become heated, and the reasons why we should care about his opinions at all. It implies that because he served in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Marine, that he can choose which laws to obey while at home. This is of course, incorrect, and gives other veterans a bad name. Regardless of his personal beliefs about gun-control, Boston should obey the law, or stop using the title of Marine veteran so proudly.

This person obviously forgot their oath to ” SUPPORT and DEFEND the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

Not the parts you like, not the President, the CONSTITUTION. Which mean that any law passed, or any order given that goes against the Constitution you have an obligation under your oath to NOT OBEY. The UCMJ clearly spells out in article 90-92 that a military member is required to follow LAWFUL orders. Any order that goes against the Constitution – such as a gun confiscation – is unlawful and should not be followed.

But I am sure that ‘usmcdiorio’ knows nothing about that, because first he would have had to take the oath and unless he is willing to produce a DD214 and prove his track record I will call this just one more false flag by the left, but I’m used to those.

Fortunately Mr. Anonymous Marine’s paranoid ranting does not represent the views of Marines nor the Marine Corps in it’s entirety. If anything it represents the views of a certain group of people that just don’t seem to get it, and probably never will. That being said, anonymous “Marine”, get bent you fucking douche rocket.

Another attempt at moral equivalence that fails under the first light. The title is Marine, not former Marine or ex-Marine. Marines would say, I did a combat deployment in Afghanistan, but did not see actual combat. Marines will say the unit to which attached, it is bona fides. Lastly, Marine veteran? That is also not a title, Marine is the only title earned. ‘Marine veteran is a bumper sticker’. And amazingly, the king of all missed terms, not one Semper Fidelis. Especially when trying to convince Cpl Boston (no reference to rank, either) that he would be a criminal. No remember the words Semper Fidelis is “Always Faithful”. Just a form letter with insert branch of service here. I really like the term tone-deaf, hmmm who else is tone deaf? Everybody who believes in the second amendment and the NRA earned that particular moniker. Nice FAIL anonymous.

“It made me deeply ambivalent about my country that we would choose that, even if we may not have chosen it,” Taylor said. “But that, that was our, that’s what represented us in the world. I felt as though after September 11, the diversion, the distraction of the nation’s concern and energy into Iraq was unpardonable.”

“I felt that it was inept, corrupt and opaque,” he said. “Those were tough years for me.”

You mean as opaque as Fast and Furious, or opaque as the Obamacare bill that “We have to pass to see what’s in it?”

That kind of opaque?

Or do you mean opaque like Obama’s fundraising where they disabled all of the security checks to make sure the donations weren’t coming in from foreign sources??

James, you are an intellectual midget who, once again, thinks that because people listen to your hippy-dippy music that somehow you must be brilliant.

“It was the largest grassroots event that we’ve ever seen in this country and the people involved were such, just fundamentally such good people I felt that it really meant a lot to me to be involved in it,” he said. “They were smart, too, the people who handled his campaign.”

Right, because voting to give yourself the hard earned cash from someone else is such a good thing. “Obama’s gonna pay my mortgage!” Remember that, James?

Reflecting the power of a bit of publicity accompanied with spontaneous grassroots activism, a spokesperson for the Wounded Warrior Project expressed regret for “the appearance of a lack of appreciation for the support the [firearms] community has given us based on a confusingly communicated business decision,” the Professional Outdoor Media Association reported this afternoon.

That’s one thing I still don’t get – “Business decision???” WTFBBQ

Thought you were a charity? People donate, you use it to help our military guys. How difficult is that?

Don’t piss off the really large group of 90 million gun owners who have been giving to you constantly, how’s that for a ‘business decision’!

Still not going to support them anymore – I’ll go Soldier Angels instead

So, the interwebz is burning up today over the WWP and their major foot-in-mouth moment.

In short, they were invited to go onto Gun Talk Radio and get some exposure for their cause and they turned it down because they don’t want to be associated with guns in any way. The email exchange is listed out here

“If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal. We are going to fix it. All of it.”

— President Obama on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” talking about the attack by Islamist militants on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Really, Bambam??? How?

How are you going to bring back a mother’s son? How are you going to bring back a loved one and “fix it”?

This isn’t Chicago where your version of fixing is going to work. You can’t put cement galoshes on it and drop it off a pier, or lawyer it into submission. Even your lapdog press can’t bury it for you this time and even they are beginning to turn because they now realize that their paychecks are riding on people believing what they say, and with 60% of the population thinking the press isn’t worth the paper they print on I am sure the reporters are going to at least TRY to look like they are doing their jobs now.

You can’t even exert Executive Privilege and hide it away. Your glass house has cracks in it and everyone can see the Emperor has no clothes – except the emperor himself.

No, Bambi, the situation is not ‘optimal’ it’s a stuttering clusterfuck of failure – just like your administration. But hey, after the election you’ll have plenty of time to go and golf.
